The Cons

Conner will be seven this month. This is crazy to me.  Where is the time going?
Conner is one funny kid and I love him to death.  He can be the sweetest, loving child one minute and change in to a monster the next.  Last week he decided to write and illustrate a book about dance and then sell it to earn money for Jess because she is poor.  He worked very hard on the book, made color copies, stapled them all together and then went around the neighborhood selling his book.  He then put the money away in his secret spot and Sunday when Jess came over he delivered the money to her.  It was very cute!
Last week he also came home and told us they learned about slavery in school. At recess he decided to walk up to a little african- american child and asked him if his dad picked cotton.  The child told him no and Conner told him " Yes he does" and kept telling him his Dad picked cotton.  We had to have a long talk about this.  One of those: I don't want to laugh in front of him but think it is really funny 
Last Simday we went to Grandma Linda's for dinner and after spending a full weekend with his cousins, he was dead tired.  He threw a complete fit and had to go sit in the car outside. The little stubborn thing spent the whole hour we had left at Grandmas in the car because he wouldn't come in and tell grandma he was sorry.  Everytime I came out to check on him he was a beast.  We love you Conner!

Does your dad pick cotton? Oh, I couldn't stop laughing. Are you having a birthday party for Conner?

This was a literal LOL moment for me. Sounds like you have a pubescent girl trapped in a 7-year-old boys body! (wink wink!)

Weird thing- I remember vividly the day he was BORN! And that's saying something cause I barely remember the day my own son was born!
